I say stick with the pump. The sound alone is enough to make most flee. That is the point I think, to make them flee and not have to shoot unless you need to.
Think about how stressfull it will be when that semi-auto jams. Mossburg 500 all the way for me. |

stay with the pump.
a jamb in a shotgun is a bitch. but then short stroking a pump is just as bad. expect to transition if you have a problem |

A good semi should not jam I ran a Rem 1100 for years with 0 malfunctions , buy a quality Semi test it then test it then test it some more if it screws up get someone to give it a reliability package job

Pumps for me for that purpose - MUCH more reliable than an auto... Shoot it a bunch, and you won't have to worry about not racking it/short stroking, etc... I can shoot a pump nearly as fast as a semi - when you figure in the time it takes to recover/realign after the shot...
Autos are nice, but don't let anyone tell you they're as reliable as a pump - it's simply not true.... - georgestrings |

I used to shoot pumps a lot, and I would short stroke once in a blue moon. I have also managed on two occasions to bind up an 870 so bad it took tools to unfuck it. Two rounds jamming on the feed tray. Two different shotguns. They would have been out of the fighht for sure.

Okay, so you're and idiot. I'm just teasing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure I'll probably be the next one to do it now!! But I have not had a problem with mine yet. (mossberg 500) Albeit I've only had it hunting a bit and some at the range. No 3 gun matches or nothing. If you ask me that sloppy feel the mossberg has is part of it's charm and ease of use. Many of the other manufactures definitely feel alot different when pumping. I'm sure I'll here some slams about that sloppiness though.

Go with a gun you know and trust. For me that will be the semi-auto. I have jammed my 870 when I was bird hunting ( short stroke) and when the 870 locks up it is worthless. I have a few shotguns for hunting and home defense. I have several Benelli's that have 4 shot tubes. But look at a Beretta 1201 FP. 7 shots 20 or 18" night sights and is around $450 to $550. I have three Beretta 1201s and they work great. And trust me when you chamber a shell in a semi-auto the bad guy knows whats going on. Chris |

M4 Super 90, if you can stomach the ~$12K price per copy. Good enough to pass military trials.
